Title: 1851 CENSUS Look-up please for the BLUNT/SAWYER family from Brighton area
Post by: christmack on Thursday 10 May 07 05:40 BST (UK)
Could someone please look up the 1851 census and any other relevant records for the following family :

George BLUNT and Ellen  (nee SAWYER ) who married in 1847 in Brighton,        Sussex and they had the following children :

George  born 1847
Maria   born  1849
William  born  1851.

We think that they then came to Australia after this last birth

Thank you for your help,
Christmack

Ian,

Thanks for all of that information.

If you have time could you let me know the lodgers who were staying with the Blunt family in the 1851 census ?

Richard SHERING, lodger u 23, Bricke maker, born Horsham
Edward BANKES, lodger u 26, Bricke maker, unknown

Checked the next page to see if there were any more, but there wasn't.

Address on next page looks like Forward Lane. The enumerator was not a very good speller, or there were some different accents that may have been difficult to understand, or both.

There is a Forewood Lane in Crowhurst today.  Also there's an Old Forewood Lane, which may be the 1851 address renamed.
